Asukoht: Turkey, Adana

Toimumise aeg: 28.02.2018 – 11.03.2018

Description:

In the developed world, energy has vital importance in ensuring the social and economic development of countries, and in the development of development policies. Energy consumption is at the top of the priority components for technological development and social development to be completed. Due to the population increase on the world and the continuing industrial development, the limited energy resources required require the opening of a gap between energy production and consumption, the use of alternative sources and the development of different policies. The only issue with which the European Union is dependent on the outside is the effort to develop as many successful policies as possible in this regard.

We think that the European Union, which can’t produce its own energy fully, is one of the most important conditions for us to use energy resources in the most efficient way and to be in peace with nature in our country. Let’s just leave one end to how important the right use of energy resources is. Our city is an important industrial city but the concept of energy is unknown in Adana and the fact that no project has been done in this region until today has been one of the most important reasons for starting this project.

Our project will be held in Adana between February 28th and March 6th.

Participating countries will be Poland, Germany, Greece, Estonia, Portugal, Italy and Turkey. A total of 36 people will be 29 young participants and 7 leaders.

The targets we have set for our project are:

• To raise awareness in the European Union and in the region on energy resources and alternative energy sources,
• To Prepare the ground for the more conscious individuals to be involved in the society in terms of energy resources and usage,
• Environmental resources and the use of developed policies to examine and develop the policy to be developed,
